8 The work before the opening of the film and television era
While following, Han Fengwu saw his grandfather's wise and courageous side, but also saw his arbitrary side.
For example, my aunt wanted to replicate Wakanda's film industry successfully and launched a large production like Avengers in Hong Kong.
It is precisely for this reason that she wants to start the film and television city.
But Han Huaiyi said no.
He was too lazy to give Chris any reason, so he personally decided on the development of Hong Kong Film Company.
That is the low-fare movie model composed of small costs, oriental elements, and local actors.
A movie that invests more than 100,000 US dollars will be produced for up to three or four months, and then it can be staged.
Chris...
My aunt has a temper, okay?
One day she finally couldn't help but start a big quarrel with her father.
"Are you so confused? What money can you make in this kind of movie?"
"Culture, do you understand culture? Although the soil here can pursue what you want to do, what about life? How many people can you support the things you photograph? Look at their per capita income, this is not a big Wakanda full of gold."
Han Fengwu just watched without saying a word and began to analyze and judge right from wrong from the communication between adults.
He agreed with his grandfather's point of view even more because of his background.
Aunt Chris is too expensive. Even if he is a child, he can't make a profit from those big productions here.
But Chris said: "Isn't the filming here because the cost here is low? We can make more money by playing in Wakanda and Europe and America. The work here is enough to support many people. In addition, old man, you are not a savior."
"No, I am." Han Huaiyi showed off with a cigar in his mouth.
Chris…she fought with him, and she almost rode on his head as if she was a child and shouted, “How can you take into account both extremes.”
"Okay, come down." Han Huaiyi quickly pressed her down and then expressed his thoughts.
He said: "Child, we are doing charity, but I am radiating the cultural influence of Southeast Asia. Do you understand? And you underestimate the amount of money I can earn in the model I have developed, and you don't see what kind of subsequent changes this model will bring to the local area."
Speaking of this, Han Huaiyi told his daughter: "This is not a copy of Wakanda, but an Asian financial, cultural, technology, medicine, and entertainment center. This is the Hong Kong Freeport in my heart, not a fucking film and television city, Mewa Pictures Logistics Department, and a low-end handicraft processing base!"
"Is the people here okay?"
"Look at your face, you are from the opposite mainland! From Yangzhou, which is far inferior to Hong Kong, and then look at your current achievements. Are you qualified to question my vision and layout?"
"I don't look down on Orientals, I just think the education foundation here is poor."
"Ha, you know a bird, oh, sorry, I shouldn't have told my daughter this thing." Han Huaiyi rubbed his nose, and Chris was also quite fierce: "It's okay, I'm an adult, let's say your son-in-law has it."
Han Huaiyi suddenly collapsed: "A bastard!"
Han Fengwu laughed apart.
He understood besides laughing at his grandfather and aunt.
Because he had seen some information that his grandfather had thrown on the table.
Han Huaiyi seemed to feel it and asked him: "What do you think?"
"Grandpa and aunt, there are many educated people in Shanghai here, so although the people here are low in culture, there are still many elites."
"See or not!" Han Huaiyi told his daughter: "Let the elites have food to eat! They are the spark! People who are eager to succeed and good at learning will keep up. The power of role models is endless. I want to let outstanding people in every field influence a generation. And give the latecomers countless possible choices for success, and the rest is their efforts. This is the atmosphere."
Chris was stunned for a while and said, "Dad, I understand."
Yes, she finally understood. If she changed her thinking, she fully recognized her father's decision. Although it was much more tiring than before, it was also very meaningful.
At that time, Hong Kong elites gathered.
If you don’t talk about other aspects, just talk about film and television.
The first thing that comes to mind is whether the martial arts movie is.
Yes, when it comes to martial arts movies, history is much longer than everyone thinks.
As early as a long time, China's first movie, "Dingjun Mountain", was a martial arts film.
Because a martial arts scene of the Peking Opera of the same name was filmed.
It was still the 1900s.
In Shanghai after Han Huaiyi and his friends left, the most popular type of Chinese movies was also martial arts films. The most famous of them was "Burning Red Lotus Temple", which had a total of 18 episodes. If it weren't for Japan's invasion of China, martial arts films would have continued to become the mainstream of the top-selling movies at that time. The Southern Legend of the Martial Arts films began now.
The north is full of war and chaos, and the country and the people are fighting for power.
Therefore, the center of commercial films was changed from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and it was continued and developed in Hong Kong.
The development of martial arts films in Hong Kong in real history can be roughly divided into several periods, and the current period is the earliest period!
Han Huaiyi is waiting for this time here.
A group of filmmakers in Hong Kong today include Ren Pengnian, Wang Yuanlong, one of the founders of Chinese martial arts films, and actors include Xinma Shizeng, Huang Hesheng, Wu Lizhu, Zheng Mengxia and others.
Of course, they are not doing well at the moment.
In fact, in the winter of 1949, Hu Peng directed a Cantonese film called "The Legend of Huang Feihong".
This film is an epoch-making symbol for both Hong Kong martial arts films and the entire history of Chinese martial arts films.
After nearly 50 years, Huang Feihong has become a famous brand of martial arts films in China.
During the 1950s, there were generally two types of martial arts films in Hong Kong. One was the Republic of China Kung Fu movies such as "Huang Feihong", and the other was the magical and monster martial arts film. The former's representative work was the "Huang Feihong" series, and the latter's representative work was the "Tathagata's Palm".
But Han Huaiyi not only saw martial arts films.
There are too many good movies in his memory from the glorious era of Hong Kong movies, and these are all in line with the tastes of the Oriental people.
Therefore, he was confident that based on Wakanda and the prophets, he would enable Hong Kong films to achieve their cultural status later decades earlier!
A potential market composed of a large number of Chinese people in South America, such as Wakanda.
Who says that small costs cannot make big money?
After Ergouzi was patient, he explained the above ideas to his grandson and daughter who seemed to understand it.
Chris said, "Hmph, you'll say it earlier!"
In fact, she admired her father so much that she kissed the old man and went to work hard.
However, the plan she came up with turned around and killed the old man again.
"What's this kind of fake and empty thing?" Han Huaiyi sneered!
